does any one else have clothes that get really dirty and come out clean with their front loader? If so how do you wash them? DH keeps blaming me for his dirty clothes and I am so tired of it!

Try this (my husband used to work in a motorcycle dealership and his clothes would get dirty and greasy. Dirt would come out but not grease and then etc etc). Get plain white amonia. Put in 1/4 cup of that in the bleach tray. Use detergent as normal. No fabric softener (oh -- NO BLEACH -- if you want to use bleach in the next load, run water through the dispenser first).

The amonia gets rid of the grease and in combination with the detergent -- will clean ANYTHING. Won't wear out the fabric either. Leaves clothes soft. Doesnt' stink. It's also terrific for washing bed sheets.

Yes, my husband is a machinest AND landscaper--he gets filthy every day.

I have an Elite and I do prewash(w/ det)/heavy wash(w/ det)/extra rinse. That always does the trick for us.

I use Sun detergent, if that makes a difference.
